We'll soar like the eagle

Flower of Life

Vs.
Oh the roads you'll travel
Oh the things you'll see
Oh the lives you'll live
Oh the things you'll be
Traveling on this road
Ever towards the one.
Down through the sun's halo,
White as the snow.
Flies the dove of love
Perched on my shoulder now
And nuzzles against my cheek
Telling me what's to be.
Ch.
This is one dove's dedication
to the flower of life.
Vs.
To live from the heart is to live to be free,
And give thanks to the mother for she is the seed.
When we came from the stars and the heavens to the Sea,
to the earth where we placed our own bare feet
She embraced us with her love
and said you are welcome child of God.
Take care of the land from there you will eat
Keep the water clean from there you will drink
The sun ray's gold will bath your soul
And the air you breath in will energize
The whole of your being, connected to all that is.
Ch
Purify the body, purify the mind,
then songs you will sing to know the divine.
Speak truth from your words and all will reveal,
reflections we are all on this wheel.
Spinning through space and time,
one more journey closer to the divine.
To serve and be served is one way to be free
And to love and to give unconditionally
Hold reverence for life and all you perceive
For this life is what you make it to be
And let grace fall upon you for you will know that you are infinity
Ch
I'm givin' her all my love to the flower of life

Vs 1
Moonlight shine bright in the night when it's right
All souls called home chanting OM breathing slow
All told from the old ancient scrolls unfold
This life, one life, free from strife, use the knife
To discern what to learn, like the ashes from the urn
We rise from the lies, be wise in these times
Commit, dedicate, be lit, radiate,
One Truth, one love, one heart, one part
Of the whole dear soul, you are whole when you flow
With the heart, play your part, it's an art from the start
With your guide third eye, step inside you will find
You and I, I and I, God and I, who's the I?
Ch
You are one with all creation
A soul in transmutation
From forgetting to remembering all is love
Oh Spirit Oh Creator
Hear these ancient prayers
That today we might illuminate our souls
Shivoham (One with Shiva or One with all that is, One with Consciousness)
VS 2
To live is to give, forgive all that is
Your hate, your fear, your near, be clear
Liberate dear soul, from the suffering of all
See through all the walls, stand tall never fall
Root down, feel the sound, of the One all around
From the Earth to the crown, through the stars you are found
You are bliss, like a kiss, from the lips of abyss
All creation, through vibration, feel your station of sensation
Never leaves, only weaves, bended knees, hold the keys
To the heart of the One, from the cosmos to the Sun
This is Earth, this is life, we signed up, it is time
To be free and to sing, celebrate unity

Ch.
Just breathe
Breathe in this life
Beathe in this love
Breathe into your heart
Vs.
Yes we purify our hearts
Yes we purify our minds
Yes we purify the way we relate to the divine
Harmonize with the wise, who tell us to align
With the cycles of the Earth and the cosmic design
Common everyone, lift up those spirits high
We gotta lift it up, if we gonna rise high
Everyday is a new day to serve her majesty
Ch.
Mantra translation:
Prana - Life Force
Apana - Great Cleanser of the System
Sushumna -Channel for the Life Force
Hari / Har - Great Creative Infinity
More Information:
Prana is the life force, and Sushumna is the central channel for that force. This mantra helps draw energy up the spine for healing. Hari and Har are names of God. When prana and apana flow together through Sushumna - the central passage of the spinal column - to the top of the head, the experience of samadhi takes place, which is the goal of all yogic practice.

Poem by Hafiz:
Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that, it lights up the entire sky.
English lyrics by Ananda Yogiji:
So make your love like the sun and shine down on everyone.
Mantra:
Ang Sung Wahe Guru
Translation:
The dynamic, loving energy of the Infinite Source of All is dancing within my every cell, and is present in my every limb. My individual consciousness merges with the Universal Consciousness.
The Infinite Being, God, is with me and vibrates in every molecule and cell of my being.
More Information
• As Gurucharan Singh, director of training at the Kundalini Research Institute, writes, “This mantra expresses a universal truth. Repeating it creates a thought, which gradually guides the psyche to adjust itself. It reconnects every fragmented projection of the psyche, each separated part of the body, and synchronizes the finite sense of self to the Infinite Oneness. This act of rejoining the separated parts is the quintessential act of healing. Under attack, under war, under the pressures of fear, this meditation keeps us together, conscious, and ready to act. It brings the inner peacefulness that comes only from the touch and scope of spirit.”

Seasons of Change

Vs.
I feel these changes, they're carrying me
Onto a new life or so it would seem
Uncertainty, clarity, unity, where will we be
Decisions that could change so much of this life as it was
A new chapter is born, pages yet to be seen
My breaths go deeper these days
Love and gratitude are all that stays ya
The season of change ya, is deep within my soul
The winds carrying me forth, to a place I've known long before
Ch 1
Who am I now and who will I become?
Oh, there's so much to this life
I'm grateful for all I've learned and
Oh, Spirit surrounds me
Oh, Spirit's within me
Oh a new day will come
Shining like the brilliant sun ya
Vs 2 (Sung by Kevin James)
So many friends have come
So many friends have gone
So many still yet to come
The smiles and the tears that shed
The tapestry of this web
Of the lives I've lived before and
The lives I'm soon to live
Ch 2
Vs 3
I won't be afraid of what's soon to be
Just accept what lies ahead
In all its' beauty, well,
Hearts may break, things will change
The lives we lived, will never be the same
And that's ok, And that's ok
And It's ok, And It's ok
